Hi, I just started going through the review needed category. Your image says that it is copyrighted with some rights reserved. Did you take the photo? If you did, you can choose any of the open licenses on the list. Please let me know what your question is?--sq 18:21, 7 August 2008 (EDT)

Great Lakes Naval Base [21 February 2011]

Hi! I'm one of the volunteer administrators here on WeRelate. I saw that you created Place pages for the Great Lakes Naval Base and the Great Lakes Naval Station. It's policy to create pages only for jurisdictions (townships, cities, counties, states, etc) and cemeteries. In keeping with that, I deleted those two pages. I moved the reference to the Great Lakes Naval Base to the description field on Frank Fletcher's page and on Eugene Stewart's page so that the information is still there. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! -- Amy (Ajcrow) 21:18, 21 February 2011 (EST)

Next step: Review your GEDCOM [14 August 2012]

You're not done yet!

WeRelate is different from most family tree websites. By contributing to WeRelate you are helping to create Pando for genealogy, a free, unified family tree that combines the best information from all contributors.

Now that you have uploaded Untitled_1.ged, your next step is to review what your pages will look like, review any potential warnings, and combine (merge) people in your GEDCOM with matching people already on WeRelate. You need to review your GEDCOM before it can finish importing. We will keep your GEDCOM in the queue for two weeks to give you time to review it.

Note: if your gedcom contains many errors or multiple families, we’d ask that you resolve and correct the errors, delete this gedcom and re-submit it without the errors before merging it with families already on WeRelate. If the gedcom is very large, we’d suggest breaking it up into separate files (or families) and importing them one at a time, which makes the review and correction process easier.

Once you have finished your review and marked your GEDCOM Ready to import, one of our administrators will review your GEDCOM and finalize the import. This usually happens within 24 hours. You will receive a message here when the pages have been created.
